The dynamics of waves in periodic media is determined by the band structure of the underlying periodic Hamiltonian. Symmetries of the Hamiltonian can give rise to novel properties of the band structure. Here we consider a class of periodic…
We study a class of delta-like perturbations of the Laplacian on the half-line, characterized by Robin boundary conditions at the origin. Using the formalism of nonstandard analysis, we derive a simple connection with a suitable family of…
We study the point spectrum of a periodic quantum tree equipped with a Schr\"odinger type differential operator with delta-type vertex conditions, using subsets of the compact graph that generates the tree. We prove analogs of existing…
We generalize the approach to localization in one dimension introduced by Kunz-Souillard, and refined by Delyon-Kunz-Souillard and Simon, in the early 1980's in such a way that certain correlations are allowed. Several applications of this…
We study multi-frequency quasiperiodic Schr\"{o}dinger operators on $\mathbb{Z} $. We prove that for a large real analytic potential satisfying certain restrictions the spectrum consists of a single interval. The result is a consequence of…
We consider the Schr\"odinger operator in the plane with delta-potential supported by a curve. For the cases of an infinite curve and a finite loop we give estimates on the lower bound of the spectrum expressed explicitly through the…
A number of results on radial positive definite functions on ${\mathbb R^n}$ related to Schoenberg's integral representation theorem are obtained. They are applied to the study of spectral properties of self-adjoint realizations of two- and…
The energy spectrum of a nonrelativistic particle on a noncommutative sphere in the presence of a magnetic monopole field is calculated. The system is treated in the field theory language, in which the one-particle sector of a charged…
Based on a thorough numerical analysis of the spectrum of Harper's operator, which describes, e.g., an electron on a two-dimensional lattice subjected to a magnetic field perpendicular to the lattice plane, we make the following conjecture:…
We consider Schr\"odinger operators in $\ell^2(\mathbb{Z})$ whose potentials are given by the sum of an ergodic term and a random term of Anderson type. Under the assumption that the ergodic term is generated by a homeomorphism of a…
We consider a family of one frequency discrete analytic quasi-periodic Schr\"odinger operators which appear in [Bjer]. We show that this family provides an example of coexistence of absolutely continuous and point spectrum for some…
We consider Schr\"odinger operators with ergodic potential $V_\omega(n)=f(T^n(\omega))$, $n \in \Z$, $\omega \in \Omega$, where $T:\Omega \to \Omega$ is a non-periodic homeomorphism. We show that for generic $f \in C(\Omega)$, the spectrum…
We consider a generalized Schr\"odinger operator in $L^2(\R^2)$ with an attractive strongly singular interaction of $\delta'$ type characterized by the coupling parameter $\beta>0$ and supported by a $C^4$-smooth closed curve $\Gamma$ of…
For Schr\"odinger operator $H=-\Delta+ V({\mathbf x})\cdot$, acting in the space $L_2(\mathbb R^d)\,(d\ge 3)$, necessary and sufficient conditions for semi-boundedness and discreteness of its spectrum.are obtained without assumption that…
We consider a semi-periodic two-dimensional Schr\"odinger operator which is cut at an angle. When the cut is commensurate with the periodic lattice, the spectrum of the operator has the band-gap Bloch structure. We prove that in the…
Commutator relations are used to investigate the spectra of Schr\"odinger Hamiltonians, $H = -\Delta + V({x}),$ acting on functions of a smooth, compact $d$-dimensional manifold $M$ immersed in $\bbr^{\nu}, \nu \geq d+1$. Here $\Delta$…
How does the spectrum of a Schr\"odinger operator vary if the corresponding geometry and dynamics change? Is it possible to define approximations of the spectrum of such operators by defining approximations of the underlying structures? In…
We show that the integrated density of states of the almost Mathieu operator is absolutely continuous if and only if the coupling is non-critical. We deduce for subcritical coupling that the spectrum is purely absolutely continuous for…
Let $\gH$ be a Hilbert space and let $A$ be a simple symmetric operator in $\gH$ with equal deficiency indices $d:=n_\pm(A)<\infty$. We show that if, for all $\l$ in an open interval $I\subset\bR$, the dimension of defect subspaces…
